Townhouse

Features

Set within the confines of an old townhouse with a feature wall that replicates the Tudor theme of the area, Townhouse is the second venture of Prospect Espresso’s Matt Ward and Mitchell Haworth. Joining the partnership is head chef Will Manning (Prospect Espresso, The Botanical and Verge) and together the trio has created a refreshing Toorak Road hotspot, which rivals its neighbours.

Unlike the surrounding coffee shops which opt to pump out dark Italian style roast coffee, the team at Townhouse are serving up a lighter house blend from Rosso, although they have a rotating blend and single origin from roasters like Proud Mary, Maling Room and Seven Seeds.

It’s not just the coffee; the food has also been well received. The smoked salmon and avocado on dark rye is a particular favourite and there are also options such as muesli with green apple and cinnamon yoghurt and a bacon, tomato, avocado and herb mayo breakfast bun. For something more substantial, you might like to try the chicken breast salad with potato gnocchi, smoked marrow, peas and asparagus.
